Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

[Barak]

I understand what you're saying. And without external input (including yours, which, I'll admit, is my main source of input as to historical data concerning the game!), I'd have Normand follow orders from a capitaine de police on the field, baring any contradictory orders from a similarly high-placed légionnaire.

But when it comes to divulging information, when there is no apparent sense of urgency.. I'd tend to let him defer to his superiors.

And then, I take into account Normand's.. Peculiar attitude towards authority figures.

an introduction

Greetings all!

Allow me to begin by thanking you for inviting me to join your adventure. As I've mentioned to Shaman I'm a long-time gamer and even longer-time amateur military scholar. One of my areas of special interest is the Algerian War. I'm so glad that since about 1999 we can use the phrase "Algerian War" without official dispute.

I was trying to google up some confirmation of a biographical fact on Col. Bigeard, and one of your game threads came up. Too cool *and* trop d'amusement!

Having read some of your threads I am very much looking forward to playing and talking with you. I hope I can add enjoyment without stress. Hey, that's not even a bad motto.

Again, thank you.

As long as you don't surpass my mastery of the french language...

 

[Bobitron]

Welcome, shibata! Glad to have another fan of the game. Go Paras!

What are you considering playing?

 

[Barak]

Man, I just realized I didn't even say hi new guy.

Hi new guy!

And why the interest in the Algerian conflict?

Hello Barak! I became interested in the Algerian conflict in a roundabout way that started with my interest in the MAT49. No, I'm not joking. I was led into Algeria by a gun.

And hello Bobitron: Vive la Legion!

I'm working up a character; do you have suggestions for something we need? I am thinking small, fast, bright, and all-soldier. Shaman mentioned, correctly, that we have no demolitions capability. I may rectify that short-coming. BOOM is always good.

 

[The Shaman]

BOOM is always good.

Barak's character might have a few thoughts on that...

shibata, you've got mail...

Shadow, have you ever heard of the Forest Brothers or the Ukrayins’ka Povstans’ka Armiya? What would Pyotr's take be on these movements?

 

[Barak]

Well actually, someone else handling stuff that explodes might sits very well with poor Normand.

FYI: Shadow's having some serious computer issues and may be unavailable to post - I have an e-mail in to him, and if need be I plan to NPC Pyotr until Shadow's system is restored.

 

[Bobitron]

Sorry about the delay. I had a very busy weekend, including my 30th birthday!

Let's spam this game up, Barak. Between the two of us we can keep Shaman busy for every hour he's away from work!
